What types of projects does RSI Charlotte manage?

RSI manages commercial workplace projects that involve relocation, construction, space changes, or a combination of these needs. Typical projects include office relocations, expansions, contractions, tenant improvements and upfits, restacks, new office openings, consolidations, commissioning new spaces, and decommissioning existing locations. RSI can also support projects before a move is approved through feasibility studies, test fits, space planning, budgeting, and vendor analysis. Once a project moves forward, the team can coordinate construction and non-construction vendors, furniture and equipment, IT and cabling, schedules, budgets, storage, and final occupancy. Because RSI serves as an independent project manager rather than a moving company or general contractor, its role is to keep the entire project organized and aligned with the client's operational, financial, and timing priorities.

Do you provide both construction project management and relocation project management?

Yes. RSI provides both construction project management and relocation project management, and the two services can be coordinated as one integrated project when a move includes an office build-out or tenant improvement. On the construction side, RSI can review plans, manage RFPs and vendor selection, coordinate schedules, track budgets, oversee the general contractor and specialty vendors, manage change activity, and support project closeout. On the relocation side, RSI develops the move plan, coordinates movers and other vendors, manages furniture, IT, equipment, storage, employee communications, decommissioning, installation, and post-move follow-up. Combining both scopes under one project-management structure helps prevent gaps between construction completion and move-in, giving the client one objective point of coordination from early planning through occupancy.

What does a feasibility assessment include?

A feasibility assessment helps a business determine whether a prospective office space or project is practical before making a major commitment. RSI evaluates how well the space can support the company's operational and layout requirements and identifies the work needed to make it functional. Depending on the project, the assessment may include programming, test fits, office space planning, construction and non-construction vendor requirements, furniture, fixtures and equipment needs, project scheduling, and realistic budget projections. RSI can also identify potential risks, constraints, and opportunities for value engineering. The resulting analysis gives leadership and its commercial real estate team clearer information for comparing locations, estimating the total cost of occupancy, planning tenant improvements, and negotiating lease terms or tenant improvement allowances with greater confidence.

Can you manage projects for companies outside of Charlotte and North Carolina?

Yes. Although RSI is headquartered in Charlotte and has extensive experience throughout North Carolina and South Carolina, its project management services are available nationwide. The company manages local relocations as well as interstate moves, new office openings, multi-location transitions, rebrands, and other commercial projects across the United States. RSI's role is especially useful when a business needs consistent standards across several markets because the team can coordinate local construction and non-construction vendors while maintaining one overall schedule, budget, scope, and reporting process. RSI has supported projects in major markets beyond the Carolinas and has managed nationwide programs involving multiple offices. Whether a company is moving across Charlotte, opening a regional branch, or coordinating several locations in different states, RSI can provide centralized project oversight.

How do you handle project scheduling and budget tracking?

RSI creates and maintains a master project schedule that connects the major milestones for construction, furniture, technology, moving, storage, decommissioning, and occupancy. The team tracks dependencies, monitors progress, coordinates vendors, and identifies corrective actions when a task threatens a required completion date. Budget management follows a similarly structured process. RSI develops and maintains the project budget, tracks vendor costs and commitments, reviews proposals and change activity, manages payment coordination, and looks for value-engineering opportunities that protect the client's priorities. Because schedule and cost decisions often affect one another, RSI manages them together rather than as separate workstreams. This gives the client better visibility into current status, upcoming decisions, potential risks, and the financial or operational impact of changes before they become larger problems.

FAQs

1. What is included in a feasibility study from RSI Charlotte?

Our feasibility study is a comprehensive project review designed to give you a complete picture of what a relocation, lease renewal, or new space build-out will actually involve. It includes a full facility tour of your current and prospective locations, detailed documentation of all project requirements and goals, test fits specific to the spaces under consideration, a master construction schedule with phasing plans, and a complete project budget for each option. We also conduct a full FF&E inventory if requested and identify all vendor requirements across categories such as architecture, engineering, cabling, IT, security, furniture, and construction. The result is an all-inclusive analysis you can take directly into lease negotiations with real numbers in hand.

2. When should a company commission a feasibility study?

The right time is before you commit to anything. Ideally, a feasibility study happens during the period when you are evaluating prospective spaces, weighing a lease renewal against relocation, or beginning to plan an office improvement. Companies that commission a feasibility study early avoid one of the most common and costly mistakes in commercial real estate: signing a lease or approving a build-out budget without a clear understanding of the true total project cost. Waiting until after commitments are made significantly reduces your leverage and your options. The earlier we can get involved, the more value we can provide in helping you negotiate better lease terms and build a more realistic project plan.

3. Does the feasibility study include a project budget and timeline?

Yes, both are core deliverables. The feasibility study includes a full project budget that accounts for all construction costs, vendor services, furniture and equipment procurement, technology, and any other project-specific requirements we identify during our assessment. It also includes a master construction schedule with phasing plans designed to meet your operational and occupancy parameters. These are not rough estimates. Relocation Strategies builds these figures from a real, documented understanding of your project scope, the specific spaces under consideration, and the vendor landscape for your market. You leave the feasibility study with actionable numbers that support confident decision-making rather than educated guesses.

4. Can a feasibility study help us decide between renewing our lease and relocating?

That is one of the most valuable things a feasibility study can do. Many companies approach a lease renewal or relocation decision without a clear understanding of what each path will actually cost and require operationally. Our feasibility study analyzes each option under consideration, including the estimated build-out costs, construction timelines, vendor requirements, and operational impact for both scenarios. With that information in hand, you can make a side-by-side comparison based on real data rather than assumptions. Relocation Strategies has helped many businesses discover that the financially and operationally smarter choice was not the one they initially assumed it would be.

5. How long does a feasibility study take to complete?

The timeline depends on the number of locations under consideration and the complexity of your project requirements, but most feasibility studies are completed within a few weeks of engagement. Our process begins with a thorough intake conversation and facility tours, followed by documentation, test fit development, budget modeling, vendor identification, and schedule planning. We work efficiently because we understand that your lease negotiations and internal planning timelines do not wait. If your situation requires a faster turnaround, reach out, and we can discuss what is possible given your specific circumstances. Contact our team to get started, and we can give you a realistic timeline based on your project.
